Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel chemical processes for modifying the solubility properties of polymeric materials, and more specifically for increasing the water resistance of non-cellulosic water sensitive polymers containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups per polymeric molecule such as starch, polyvinyl alcohol, partially saponified polyvinyl esters and the like.
- This invention also relates to the insolubilized products resulting from the above modification.
- this invention also relates to a process for producing said insolubilized products in situ on fabrics and to the products resulting therefrom.
- divinyl sulfone is as extremely toxic chemical whether taken orally or by absorption through the skin. It causes severe burns when in contact with the skin. It is a powerful lachrymator and vesicant. It is a liquid of relatively high vapor pressure, and therefore difficult to handle (as, for example in weighing). At alkaline pH (above 9.0), it reacts readily with water, so that alkaline solutions of divinyl sulfone have very limited stability.
- the sulfones of our invention have oral toxicity 20 to 100 times lower than that of divinyl sulfone. They do not act as lachrymators or VSiC3lHtS, and do not cause burns when in contact with the skin. They are solids, or. liquids of extremely low vapor pressure, and can easily be handled in laboratory or mill operations. They exhibit excellent stability in aqueous solutions.
- a further object of this invention is to provide new and useful polymeric materials which are prepared by reacting certain polymeric materials containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups per polymeric molecule with selected sulfones.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a novel process for imparting a durable size to a fabric.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a novel sized fabric as a result of the aforementioned process for imparting a durable size to a fabric.
- a wa er 501th ice 2 ble polymer containing hydroxyl groups is rendered insoluble by reacting it in the presence of an alkaline catalyst with a sulfone represented by the general formula Ill ll" where R, R, R", and R' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, and Y represents a polar residue derived from a reagent of weak neucleophilic character such as the cation of a weak base (e.g. NC H pyridinium) the anion of a strong acid (e.-g. -SSO Na, thiosulfate; -OSO Na, sulfate), and the like.
- Nucleophilic character is defined as the tendency to do nate electrons or share them with a foreign atomic nucleus (Gilman-Organic Chemistry, second edition, vol. II, p. 1859).
- the polymers suitable for the process of the present invention may be natural (e.g. starch) or synthetic (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, partially saponified polyvinyl acetate and the like).
- synthetic polymers they may be used in the form of bulk resin, film, fiber, yarn or fabric.
- starches which may be used are the cereal starches such as corn starch, rice starch, wheat starch and the like; the root starches such as potato starch, tapioca starch and the like, as well as the starches derived from stems, fruits and seeds.
- amylose (soluble in cold water) and the amylopectin (insoluble in cold water) fractions of raw starch are operative, and the partial degradation products of starch (generally termed dextrins) are also operative.
- the latter are polymeric products obtained from starch by heating, by partial acid or base hydrolysis, or by enzymatic hydrolysis.
- Chemically modified starches where part (not more than about 50%) of the hydroxyl groups have been acetylated, etherified or otherwise substituted are also operative.
- polyvinyl alcohol derivatives which may be used are the polyvinyl alcohol resins derived by partial or total hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate (marketed for example under the trade name of Gelvatol by the Shawinigan Resin Corp., under the trade name of Elvanol by E. I. du Pont de Nemours, and the like), polyvinyl alcohol fibers and yarns (marketed for example under the trade name of Vinal by the Air Reduction Chemical Co.) either unmodified of the hydroxyl groups are free and unsubstituted) or where part of the hydroxyl groups (not more than about 50%) have been reacted to form acetals, esters, others or other substituted products.
- Saponified copolymers of organic vinyl esters with other monomers for example vinyl chloride, acrylate esters, acrylonitrile, styrene and the like
- Z is selected from the groupconsisting of Q SQ and S Qg-, and M s an al ali mg fil selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, lithium, and the like. It will be evident that in Formula 2, Z-M corresponds to Y of Formula 1.
- R, R, R" and R have the same meaning as in Formula 1;
- R R and R are substituents such as alkyl, aryl, and alkaryl groups of a tertiary amine having an ionization constant lower than about and
- X is a negatively charged ion derived from an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, and the like or from an organically substituted inorganic acid such as *methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, and the like.
- hydrochloric acid is given by way of example only since halogen acids in general can be employed.
- sulfones encompassed by Formula 1 include those corresponding to the following structure:
- R, R, R", R', and X have the same meaning as in Formula 3 above and Q is part of a heterocyclic ring of which the nitrogen atom in the formula is also a part such as in pyridine, isoquinoline, alkyl pyrrolidine, and the like.
- the amount of sulfone which is required to produce the desired effect in the process of the present invention varies widely, depending on the structures of the polymer and sulfone which are reacted, and on the extent of modification which is desired.
- the amount of sulfone employed may be as low as 3% and as high as 200%, based on the weight of the polymer.
- the alkaline catalyst is generally a strong base.
- the phosphates, carbonates, hydroxides and alkoxides of alkali metals, and the quaternary ammonium hydroxides are preferred catalysts.
- the amount of catalyst em- 'ployed may be varied between wide limits, and depends on the specific base which is selected, on the time and temperature of reaction, and on the nature of the polymer.
- the concentration may be varied between 0.1% and 30%, based on the weight of solution, with the reaction time varying from several hours to a few seconds at room temperature as the concentration of sodium hydroxide is increased.
- the inert solvent or dispersion medium used for carrying out of the reaction between the sulfone compound and the polymer can be water or a non-reactive organic compound plus mixtures thereof.
- the reaction can take place at sub-atmospheric, atmospheric or super-atmospheric pressure, but preferably atmospheric pressure is employed.
- the reaction can be carried out on the polymer itself, as in the case of polyvinyl alcohol fiber, yarn, fabric and the like. It can be carried out also on an aqueous solution or suspension of the polymer. On the other hand, it can be carried out upon yarn or fabric whichhas been sized with a polyvinyl alcohol or starch derivative. 'In the latter case, the sizing material is insolubilized in situ, and
- Example 2 The procedure of Example 1 is repeated using 8.8 grams of a 25% sodium hydroxide solution. The polymer obtained is identical with that of Example 1 and is insoluble in boiling water.
- Example 3 Sixty-two grams of a 7% solution of polyvinyl alcohol (obtained by total hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate-product marketed as Gelvatol 1-60 by the Shawinigan Resin Corp.) are mixed with 0.3 gram-of a 25% solution of the sulfone used in Example 1. Upon adding 0.2 gram of a 25% solution of sodium hydroxide an insoluble polymer precipitates which is filtered, washed and dried. This product is insoluble in boiling water.
- polyvinyl alcohol obtained by total hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate-product marketed as Gelvatol 1-60 by the Shawinigan Resin Corp.
- Example 5 Forty-four grams of a 10% aqueous solution of partially saponified polyvinyl acetate (Gelvatol 40.10) are mixed with 18.4 grams of the sulfone compound .y CHaGHzNCsHg CHzCHaIlTCsHs at room temperature. A clear solution is obtained. When 32 grams of 25% NaOH are added to this solution, an insoluble gel precipitates out. After filtering, washing anddrying this gel is tested for water resistance. A one gram sample of the gel is treated with 25 cc. of boiling water for 5 minutes, filtered, dried and weighed. No weight loss is observed, proving the excellent water resistance of the product prepared.
- Gelvatol 40.10 partially saponified polyvinyl acetate
- Example 6 The procedure of Example 5 is repeated, except that the partially saponified polyvinyl acetate (Gelvatol 40-10) is replaced with completely hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate (Gelvatol 1-60). Results similar to those observed with Example 5 are obtained.
- a test portion of the solid product (1 gram) is suspended in 10 grams of water and the water is brought to a boil.
- the modified starch product swells slightly, while the untreated starch forms a thick gelatinous mass when tested by the same procedure.
- Example 8 The procedure of Example 7 is repeated using 47 grams of a 25% solution of the sulfone of Example 1. By so increasing the amount of sulfone reactant, the modified corn starch which is obtained can be boiled with water without rupture of the individual starch particles and without increase in the viscosity of the aqueous solution.
- Example 9 The procedure of Examples 7 and 8 is repeated, replacing the 150 grams of corn starch with 75 grams of a cold water soluble starch marketed under the trade name Kosol by the National Starch and Chemical Co. This starch which is completely soluble in cold water is rendered insoluble in water even at the boil after reaction with the sulfone of Example 1.
- Example 10 When the procedure of Example 7 is repeated using 10 grams of the sulfone of Example 5, the properties of the product obtained are identical to those of the product of Example 7. By increasing the amount of sulfone to 45 grams, the insolubilization of the starch is as complete as that observed in Example 8. It is thus apparent that the degree of swelling of starch particles in water can be varied almost at will by varying the concentration of sulfone reagent used in the treatment.
- Example 11 Samples of yarn manufactured from unmodified polyvinyl alcohol fiber (non-heat treated, yarn size 25/ 1) are impregnated with an aqueous solution containing 250 grams per liter of the sulfone compound CHzCHaSSOaNB.
- the yarn is passed through the squeeze rolls of a laboratory padder, adjusting the pressure of the rolls so as to give a wet pickup of about 75%.
- the uptake of sulfone is thus about 18 grams per 100 grams of yarn.
- the yarn so treated is dried, then passed through a 10% potassium hydroxide solution, squeezed through the rolls of the padder and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. It is then washed in dilute acetic acid and water, and dried.
- the yarn so treated is insoluble in boiling water, while the untreated yarn is gradually dissolved when immersed in water at 70-80 C.
- Example 12 Samples of cotton fabric are treated with solutions of the following compositions, passed through the rolls of a laboratory padder set to give about 70% wet pickup, and dried:
- fabrics besides cotton can be treated in this manner.
- fabrics manufactured from regenerated cellulose, polyamide, polyester and acrylic fibers can be so treated if a stiff finish which is durable to laundering is desired.
- a process for insolubilizing non-cellulosic natural and synthetic polymers containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups per polymeric molecule by reacting said polymers in the presence of an alkaline catalyst with a sulfone corresponding to the formula where R, R, R", and R' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl and Y is a polar residue derived from a reagent of weak nucleophilic character.
- a method of imparting to a fabric a durable sizing material comprising impregnating said fabric with a non-cellulosic polymer containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups per polymeric molecule and thereafter insolubilizing said polymer on said fabric by reacting said polymer in the presence of an alkaline catalyst with a sulfone corresponding to the formula RI!
